Question 1066146
the realtor's commission is 13,500


the realtor gets 9% on the first 100,000 and 6% on any amount over 100,000.


the commission is 13,500.


9% of 100,000 is equal to 9,000.


since 13,500 is greater than 9,000, subtract 9,000 from 13,500 to get 4,500.


that's the commission on the amount over 100,000


if x = the amount over 100,000, then .06 * x = 4,500.


solve for x to get x = 75,000


the total cost of the house is 100,000 + 75,000 = 175,000.


the house costs 175,000


realtor gets 9% on 100,000 = 9,000


realtor gets 6% on 75,000 = 4,500.


total commission is 13,500.


selling price of the house is 175,000.
